The intermediary company Yara Clean Ammonia NewCo AS will be merged with Yara Clean Ammonia Holding AS by way of a triangular merger before opening of the market on the Oslo Stock Exchange tomorrow, 25 August 2022. The merger will result in the share capital of Yara being increased to NOK 433,033,565.90, consisting of 254,725,627 shares, i.e. as before the demerger. A separate announcement will be made when the merger has been registered as completed in the Norwegian register of Business Enterprises.

Thus, following completion of the demerger and the triangular merger, Yara's shareholders will have the same number of shares in the company, and the nominal value of the shares in Yara will be the same as before the demerger and triangular merger.
